Book Review: Marathon You can Do It !

I bought this book recently from an Indian online vendor, infibeam.com, who delivered the stuff in 10 days which was a big surprise. Though the book is available at $12.21 at amazon, they charged me around $15, which wasn't that bad.

Since I already have Galloway's book on Running, many of the things are familiar to me and in fact the chapters are identical as well. But the core of the book is in the marathon training plans. From that of a beginner to those who want to finish in 4:40, 4:20, 4:00 and up. Also the race time predictor table includes slower times(above 5:00h ) as well. I am finding it a bit difficult to read it in one sitting because the same text appears in many places. And the "aha" factor was already experienced with the earlier book.

The message has been consistent and I guess you just need one of these books, either Galloway's book on Running or Marathon you can do it. If you are a beginner, GBOR suits you well. You have running plans that suits a beginner and advanced folks for 5K,10K and Half Marathons. But if you have already run half marathons or are planning to do a marathon, Marathon You Can Do It may be the right choice.
